Welltower (WELL) is "well positioned" to capitalize on favorable seniors housing market trends and continue outperforming the broader industry, supported by its data and technology capabilities as well as strong operating partnerships, RBC Capital Markets said in a report Monday.

Welltower should continue benefiting from strong seniors housing demand driven by aging population and limited new supply, while its better portfolio, attractive locations and strong operator relationships position it to outperform the broader industry, the report said.

The rollout of Welltower Business System, which integrates operator and company data to provide real-time operational insights, should support future growth as the platform is expected to expand to up to 950 communities by the end of 2026, with "early roll-outs" already delivering improvements in revenue and expense management, according to the report.

The firm remains optimistic about Welltower's "investment pipeline," noting the company continues to source attractive "off-market" transactions and achieve return targets despite rising asset valuations, according to the report.

RBC reiterated its outperform rating on Welltower, with a price target of $238, citing confidence in sustained funds from operations and Adjusted FFO growth.
